The owners of Tavern on the Green have hired its fourth chef in two years — but it is keeping mum about the change.

Bill Peet, who was most recently executive chef of Urbo, a massive Times Square restaurant, and an alum of Lutèce, was named chef of the Central Park eatery on Monday with nary a press release or peep heralding his arrival, The Post has learned.

Owners Jim Caiola and David Salama could not be reached for comment, but a receptionist at the legendary restaurant confirmed that, “Tavern is very excited to welcome Bill Peet and to have him as our new culinary leader.”

His predecessor, John Stevenson, who had been with the restaurant for a year, could not be reached for comment.

The revolving kitchen door at Tavern does not bode well for the eatery. Tavern has struggled to gain its footing since reopening after a four-year hiatus, during which time the restaurant underwent a massive renovation paid for by New York City.

At the same time, the new owners invested $15 million — substantially more than they had budgeted for the job.

What’s more, Caiola and Salama have been handled with velvet gloves by the city, which is not charging them rent until 2019. But The New York Hotel and Motel Trades Council, the union that represented Tavern’s workers for decades under the LeRoy family regime, will likely start organizing its current workers after holding off from doing so for the first two years at the city’s request.
